    I've got another five barrels of "shred" from the computers I've been breaking down, maybe 1500 lbs. A lot less weight than my "blade barrells" but I think these will now be my first run of ferrous to the yard, I know this is all plain metal. Thank you all for helping me with grading possibilities!

    Double check those tower carcasses, a few towers that I got recently were actually aluminum. They usually are used to make computers for people that are into gaming. I actually got one that had a small fish tank built into it.

    I just took about 1300 lbs of stripped towers to my very local yard the other week. It was labeled by them as "light iron" and I came away with $115 @ .09 lb.
